Objective: To investigate the value of penile scintigraphy using 99mTc-human immunoglobulin G (IgG) to differentiate the unstable (acute) and stable (chronic) phases of Peyronie's disease (PD).
Patients And Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients (25 with PD and seven without) were evaluated using a detailed sexual history, serum chemistry panel, colour Doppler ultrasonography during simultaneous intracavernosal injection of 50 mg papaverine and stimulation, and 99mTc-IgG scanning. When indicated, nocturnal penile tumescence monitoring, dynamic infusion cavernosometry, cavernosonography and cavernosal artery systolic occlusion pressure were measured.

All patients underwent comprehensive multidisciplinary examinations, including bulbocavernosus reflex (BCR) latencies and somatosensory evoked potentials, penile Doppler sonography, dynamic or pharmaco-cavernosonography, and for 11 patients nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) was also recorded with the Rigiscan. This diagnostic approach suggested that in 24 (39.

An additional comparison of the results of intracavernous application of vasoactive drugs with the outcome of dynamic cavernosography in 141 patients showed that a negative or clearly positive test-outcome indicated in over 90 per cent of the evaluated patients the presence or lack of venous insufficiency during dynamic cavernosography.

Nine patients with impaired erection and a mean age of 41 years were diagnosed by means of a battery of multidisciplinary examinations: specific anamnesis, urological, neurological, endocrinological, angiological, psychosomatic and metabolic investigations, electromyography, measurement of the latency period and duration of the bulbocavernosus reflex, measurement of the nocturnal penis tumescence, penile blood-pressure index (PBPI), artificial erection with papaverine, flowmetry, phalloarteriography, dynamic cavernosonography. In all cases, an arterial and/or venous genesis was discovered as well as neurological or psychological factors. Three microsurgical techniques were employed: the end-to-side anastomosis of the A.
